ONE  of  the  greatest  needs  in  all  large  cities  of  the  United  States,  and,  singularly  enough,  one  which,  although 
fully  realized  by  city  authorities  has  never,  until  within  the  last  few  years,  received  their  serious  attention,  is 
that  of  public  comfort  stations.  In  Europe,  the  necessity  for  public  comfort  stations  was  realized  many  years  ago 
and  acted  upon,  the  result  being  that  in  all  the  large  cities  a  station  is  to  be  found  in  every  square  or  section  where 
large  numbers  of  the  population  pass  or  congregate.  London  is  a  conspicious  example  in  this  respect,  the  underground 
stations  in  Picadilly  Circus,  Oxford  Circus,  Trafalgar  Square,  Leicester  Square,  Holborn  Circus,  etc.,  being  excellently 
planned  and  fitted  up. 

During  the  past  few  years,  public  comfort  stations  have  been  erected  in  New  York,  Boston  and  Detroit.  These  have 
been  such  a  great  success  in  every  way,  and  have  afforded  accommodation  to  so  many  hundreds  of  thousands,  that  (at 
least  so  far  as  Greater  New  York  is  concerned)  they  will  be  followed  by  other  stations  until  the  entire  city  is  provided  for. 

An  econo?nical  feature  and  one  that  will  commend  itself  to  municipal  authorities  is  that  the  public  comfort  stations 
are  to  a  greater  or  less  extent  rendered  self-supporting  by  the  pay  compartments.  These  usually  contain  a  water  closet, 
lavatory,  clean  towel  and  soap,  the  charge  for  their  use  being  a  nominal  one  of  five  cents.  Such  an  arrangement, 
moreover,  secures  the  user  entire  privacy. 


With  a  more  general  understanding  of  the  value  of  cleanliness  as  an  agent  in 


the 


na' 


-  ^ -  - . — . .  . . .  —  . .  prevention  ot  disease, 

come  the  demand  for  Public  Bath  Houses  where  persons  not  having  the  advantage  of  proper  bathing  facilities  in  th( 
home  may  be  accommodated  at  either  a  nominal  cost  or  entirely  free.  The  need  and  utility  of  such  institutions  hav( 
been  thoroughly  demonstrated  by  the  great 


large  attendance 


at  the 
erected  in 


.success  and  the 
public  baths  that  have  been 
Greater  New  York. 

The  sanitary  appliances  in  the  public  com¬ 
fort  stations  and  public  baths  thus  far  erected 
in  the  United  States  are  almost  exclusively  of 
our  manufacture,  many  of  them  having  been 
especially  designed  for  the  purpose.  Eeeling 
assured  that  all  large  municipalities  will 
be  interested  in  this  subject,  we  have 
prepared  this  catalogue  showing  the  general 
arrangement  and  details  of  some  of  the 
best  and  most  modern  public  comfort 
stations  and  baths.  We  shall  be  pleased  to 
correspond  with  municipal  authorities  and 
others  having  in  mind  the  erection  of 
similar  buildings,  and  shall  be  glad  to  furnish 
any  further  information  which  they  may 
desire.

ONE  of  the  most  important  considerations  in  the  construction  of  buildings  of  this  sort  is  the  provision  for  their  proper 
heating  and  ventilation .  The  heating  can  often  be  economically  provided  for  where  it  is  possible  to  locate  the 
station  near  some  large  public  building  from  which  a  supply  of  steam  can  be  obtained.  In  most  cases,  however,  it  is 
necessary  to  install  a  separate  boiler. 

The  usual  method  of  ventilation  consists  of  drawing  fresh  air  from  out  of  doors  by  means  of  an  electrically-driven 
fan  ;  the  air  after  being  tempered  by  passing  over  a  coil  of  steam  pipe,  is 
conducted  through  ducts  to  various  parts  of  the  station,  being  discharged  into 
the  rooms  through  registers  located  near  the  ceiling. 

To  make  more  certain  a  positive  change  of  air  and  its  proper  circulation,  an 
exhaust  fan  is  provided  similar  to  the  supply  fan  and  connected  to  a  system  of  ducts 
terminating  in  exhaust  registers  located  in  the  back  of  the  water  closet  stalls  and 
near  the  floor.  This  fan  draws  out  the  vitiated  air,  discharging  it  outside  the  building. 

Where  the  stations  are  located  tinderground,  two  ornamental  cast-iron  shafts  surmounted 
by  electroliers  are  placed  on  the  surface  above  the  station,  as  shown  on  page  i.  These  act 
as  air  shafts,  the  supply  fan  being  placed  at  the  base  of  one  and  the  exhaust  fan  at 
the  other.  The  height  of  the  opening  in  these  shafts  above  the'  surface  of  the  ground 
is  such  that  a  supply  of  pure  air,  free  from  dirt  and  dust  of  the  street,  is  insured.  Details 
and  prices  of  these  shafts  will  be  furnished  upon  ajjplication. 

Plumbing  Fixtures. — Water  closets,  the  “Torrento;”  urinals,  the  “  Sanito  ;  ”  lavatories, 
the  “  Tremont  ”  imperial  porcelain.  See  subsequent  pages  for  separate  illustration.

flrooklyji,  New  York 


This  station  is  located  in  the  square  near  the  Borough  Hall,  in  Brooklyn,  one  of 
the  busiest  portions  of  the  city.  'hhis  particular  station,  which  is  open  day 
and  night,  has  averaged  as  high  as  7700  persons  daily,  this  number  including  men 
and  women. 

The  urinals  are  our  “  Sanito  ”  all-porcelain  urinals,  a  fixture  which  above  all  others 
is  adapted  to  the  requirements  of  such  a  building.  The  urinals  are  made  in  several 
varieties,  as  may  be  noted  in  the  following  pages.  There  is  absolutely  nothing  about 
them  to  get  out  of  order.  'Fhey  are  durable,  absolutely  non-absorbent,  not  affected  in 
any.  way  by  uric  acid,  are  in  one  solid  piece  with  no  joint,  and  are  easily  kept  clean. 
'I'he  unqualified  success  which  has  attended  the  introduction  of  these  urinals  is  the 
strongest  recommendation  which  can  be  given  them. 

The  flush  for  these  urinals  is  automatic,  the  length  of  time  elapsing  between 
flushes  being  regidated  at  will  by  the  attendant.  Piach  time  the  cistern  discharges,  all 
parts  of  the  urinal  are  thoroughly  flushed,  the  proper  distribution  of  the  water  being 
effected  by  the  nickel-plated  spreader. 

Plumbing  Fixtures.— closets,  the  “  Torrento  ;  ”  urinals,  the  “Sanito”;  lavatories,  the  “  Tre- 
mont  ”  imperial  porcelain.  See  subsequent  pages  for  separate  illustration.

A  SLOP  sink  should  always  form  a  part  of  the  equipment  of  a  Public 
Comfort  Station.  The  better  the  facilities  for  keeping  such  a  build¬ 
ing  clean  and  neat,  the  greater  the  probability  that  such  conditions  will 
obtain.  This  is  one  of  the  strongest  reasons  for  constructing  the  walls 
of  such  material  as  tile  or  enameled  brick  and  the  floors  of  asphalt  or 
terrazzo.  Another  custom  which  has  been  found  desirable  in  this  connec¬ 
tion  is  the  grading  of  the  floors,  preferably  toward  the  center  of  the 
rooms ;  where  a  floor  drain  or  catch-basin  similar  to  that  shown  on  page 
lo  may  be  located.  Such  construction  makes  it  feasible  to  flush  not 
only  floors  but  walls. 

The  pay  closets  are  commonly  equipped  with  a  water  closet,  and 
lavatory  with  mirror  as  shown  by  Plate  9089-R,  and  the  fee  includes 
the  use  of  soap  and  a  clean  towel.  The  fee  charged  is  usually  five  cents.

IX  the  Public  Comfort  Station  illustrated  hei'e,  our  “  Syphono  ”  imperial  porcelain  urinals  are  installed,  the  stall 
partition  being  of  glass  set  in  iron  frames.  'The  partition  frames  shown  in  this  illustration  are  Mott’s  special 
adjustable  pattern.  It  will  be  noticed  that  they  are  extremely  simple  in  design,  and  are  made  in  such  a  manner  that 
they  can  be  supplied  to  fit  practically  any  dimension  of  partition  desired.  'Phis  fact  will,  we  think,  appeal  to  the 
architect,  as  with  this  style  of  frame  he  is  not  held  down  to  stock  sizes.  Another  advantage  claimed  for  this  .style  of 
frame  is,  that  it  is  possible  to  in.sert  or  remove  the  partition  slabs,  which  may  be  of  slate,  marble  or  glass,  without  taking 
down  the  frames.  Details  and  prices  of  frames  on  application. 

'Phis  station  is  built  above  ground.  An  exterior  of  this  station  is  shown  on  page  2. 

'fhe  expcrienri’  of  the  authorities  in  charge  of  the  pulrlic  comfort  stations  and  public  baths  here  about  has  shown  that  the  installation  of 
drinking  fountains  in  such  buildings  is  not  only  desirable  but  imperative.  The  “  I’urita  ”  fountain  in  its  several  forms,  shown  on  page  15. 
does  away  with  all  the  objections  which  have  hitherto  been  encountered  when  installing  such  fi.xtures,  namely,  the  danger  of  contagion 
when  the  same  drinking  cup  is  used  bv  a  large  number  of  people,  and  the  inconvenience  arising  front  the  fact  that  mischievous  and 
meddlesome  people  are  continually  stealing  such  drinking  cups.  With  the  “  I’urita  ”  fountains  no  drinking  cu]t  is  necessary,  one  drinking 
directly  from  a  bubbling  jet.

^  T  ^  1 1  K  indi\'iclual  shower  stalls  are  generally  divided  into 
1  two  compartments,  one  being  used  as  a  dressing  room, 
supplied  with  seat  and  hooks  on  which  to  hang  cloth¬ 
ing,  while  the  other  is  used  for  the  bath  proper  and  is 
ec|uipped  with  a  shower  and  seat. 

'I'he  Hoors  of  these  stalls  are  made  of  some  of  the  numer¬ 
ous  water-proof  materials  and  are  slightly  graded  for  the  pur¬ 
pose  of  drainage.  This  may  be  in  the  form  of  a  single  outlet 
for  each  stall,  or  of  a  gutter  running  the  full  length  of  a  line 
of  stalls.  The  gratings  covering  these  gutters  should  of 
course  be  made  removable. 

'I'he  shower  stalls  in  the  bath  house  here  illustrated  are 
made  3'  wide  and  6'  deep,  the  front  half  being  used  as  the 
dressing  compartment.  'I'he  top  of  the  dividing  partitions, 
which  are  7'  high,  is  covered  with  a  projecting  shelf  made  of 
wire  grating  of  sufficient  width  to  prevent  reaching  over  from 
one  dressing  compartment  to  the  next. 


public  bath  house  here  illmstrated  was 

1  erected  as  a  free  imstitution,  no  charge  whatever 
Ireing  made  for  the  use  of  the  regular  shower  stalls. 
A  small  admission  is  charged  for  the  u.se  of  several 
private  rooms  fitted  up  with  bath  tub ;  clean  towels 
and  soap  being  included  in  the  cost  of  admission. 

Almo.st  perfect  ventilation  for  the  building  is 
obtained  by  the  use  of  two  fans ;  one  situated  in  the 
basement,  supplying  fresh  air,  tempered  by  being 
passed  over  a  steam  coil,  and  the  other  located 
on  the  roof,  exhausting  the  \'itiated  air  from  the 
building. 

A  copious  supply  of  hot  water  can  be  obtained  at 
any  time,  a  'fobey  heater  being  used  for  the  pur¬ 
pose,  obtaining  its  supply  of  .steam  from  the  boilers 
which  also  serve  to  supply  steam  for  the  heating  ot 
the  building. 

'bhe  popularity  of  the  new  bath  house  can  be 
easily  appreciated  when  it  is  known  that  during  the 
first  winter  season  of  its  existence,  1903-1904,  the 
average  daily  attendance  was  900.  'I'he  total 
capacity  of  the  bath  house  is  52  showers  and  8  tubs. 
In  rush  hours  the  time  allowance  for  a  bath  is  20 
minutes.

I^LA'l'K  6067-K  is  an  admirable  combination  in  every  way  and  will  appeal  to  architects,  sanitarians  and  plumbers.  The  all-porcelain

Plate  6068-R 

All  urinals  should  have  a  glazed  surface.  Those  that  do  not  have  it,  such  as  slate,  soap¬ 
stone  and  marble,  are  more  or  less  unsanitary.  To  keep  a  urinal  clean  and  non-odorous 
is  one  of  the  most  difficult  problems  in  sanitation  ;  it  is  simplified  in  the  imperial  porcelain 
because  the  urine  strikes  against  an  absolutely  smooth,  china-like  glazed  surface  to  which  it 
cannot  adhere. 

Where  the  water  supply  is  limited,  the  method  of  flushing  shown  by  Plate  6068-R  may 
be  advantageously  employed.  Iffie  “  Presto  ”  flush  valve  is  simple  in  construction  and 
operation,  and  reliable  in  action  where  the  water  is  not  abnormally  charged  with  grit,  alkali, 
etc.  The  push  button  is  china  and  is  plainly  marked  push.  By  a  slight  quick  pressure 
upon  this  button,  the  valve  is  operated  and  the  urinal  flushed  by  a  measured  quantity  of 
water.

The  “  Beekman  ”  is  a  most  sanitary  and  complete  urinal  for  use  in  public  buildings  where  strength,  durability,  clean¬ 
liness  and  low  cost  are  desired.  In  operation  it  is  very  simple.  The  cistern  can  be  set  to  discharge  at  any 
interval  desired,  when  every  part  of  the  urinal  is  thoroughly  flushed.  It  is  also  complete  in  itself,  requiring  only  connec¬ 
tions  to  be  made  to  the  supply  and  waste  pipes.  One  of  the  most  important  features,  however,  is  that  there  is  always 
a  large  body  of  water  to  receive  and  dilute  the  urine,  thus  avoiding  the  offensive  odor  arising  from  urine  falling  on  a  dry 
surface.  The  back  of  urinal  (the  part  most  likely  to  be  soiled)  is  much  higher  than  the  front  and  has  a  perforated  brass 
flushing  pipe  extending  its  entire  length,  which  washes  the  back  at  each  discharge  of  the  cistern.  The  front  rim  in  each 
stall  is  formed  into  a  lip  which  prevents  dripping  on  the  floor.

ing  a  register  at  the  Irack  of  each  stall  connecting 
with  the  exhaust  ducts  of  the  general  ventilating  system. 
A  better  way,  and  one  favored  by  expert  ventilating 
engineers,  is  to  make  the  connection  to  the  exhau.st  flues 
through  the  water  closets  direct,  preventing  the  possibility 
of  any  odor  escaping  from  the  fixture  by  maintaining  a 
continuous  flow  of  the  air  through  it.  The  above  clo.set 
is  designed  for  such  a  connection.

to  the  “  Boston  ”  vent  shown  above.  In  the  first  place  it 
is  of  adequate  area  ;  secondly,  the  construction  is  such  that 
the  vent  is  above  the  top  edge  of  the  clo.set,  so  that  any 
overflow  that  may  lake  place  from  stoppage  in  the  closet 
is  not  forced  into  the  vent  pipe ;  thirdly,  each  time  the 
closet  is  operated  the  vent  pipe  is  flushed  as  well  as  the

That  automatic  closets  have  not  been  more  generally

Cistern  with  Cast-iron  Flush  Pipe,  Hardwood  Seats  and  Cast-iron  Partitions 


piobleni  of  constructing  an  automatic  water  closet  range  with  a  large  deep  body  of  water,  and  at  the  same  time  simple  and  reliable 
I  in  action,  has  been  solved  in  the  above.  The  area  and  depth  of  water  are  suthcient  to  receive,  submerge  and  deodorize  the  soil, 
thereby  necessitating  less  frequent  flushing  than  is  required  in  the  simple  washout. 

Mott's  automatic  syphon  water  closet  range  is  extremely  simple  in  operation,  and  there  are  no  moving  or  mechanical  parts  liable  to  get 
out  of  order.  When  the  cistern  automatically  discharges,  the  air  is  rarefied  in  upper  trap;  this  starts  a  strong  syphon  and  the  contents  of 
range  are  quickly  and  thoroughly  drawn  out,  after  which  the  range  is  filled  to  the  normal  level  with  clean  water  from  tlie  cistern,  and  is  again 
ready  for  use.  The  cistern  can  be  regulated  to  discharge  at  any  desired  interval.

IMPERIAL  porcelain  lavatories  make  ideal  fix-. 

tures  for  public  use.  'Phe  slab  and  basin  are 
in  one  piece  without  joint.  The  material,  besides 
being  of  a  beautiful  china  white,  is  non-absorbent, 
unstainable  and  exceedingly  strong  and  durable. 
The  “Tremont”  lavatory  is  designed  to  set  clear 
of  the  wall,  thus  making  it  particularly  adaptable 
when  walls  are  of  water-proof  material.  It  is  unlike 
all  other  kinds  of  lavatories.

Plate  4i§j-P 


ONE  of  the  great  advantages  of  these  lavatories  is  their  size, 
the  basin  being  very  large  as  compared  with  the  area  of  the 
slab.  This  makes  the  lavatories  well  adapted  for  use  where  space  is 
limited,  as  they  occupy  a  minimum  of  space,  at  the  same  time 
giving  a  maximum  of  capacity.

PLATE  4154-R  is  an  arrangement  that  is  preferable  to  the  ordinary'  sectional  iron  lavatories.  The  main  objection 
to  the  sectional  lavatories  is  the  joints,  which,  no  matter  how  made,  form  a  crevice  for  dirt,  soapy  w'ater,  etc. 
With  Plate  4154-R  all  joints  are  eliminated. 

The  “  Simplex  ”  hanger  consists  of  a  cast-iron  plate  fastened  to  the  wall  back  of  the  lavatory.  Projections  on  the 
lavatory  engage  the  plate,  thus  forming  a  permanent  and  firm  support.

WHEN  a  supply  of  low- 
pressure  steam  is  avail¬ 
able,  Mott’s  sterilizing 
attachment  for  laundry  trays  may 
be  used  to  advantage.  The 
attachment  consists  of  a  coil  of 
perforated  brass  steam  pipe 
placed  in  the  bottom  of  the  laun¬ 
dry  trays,  connection  being  made 
through  the  bottom  of  the  tray 
with  the  low-pressure  steam  pip¬ 
ing.  The  flow  of  steam  is  regu¬ 
lated  by  a  valve  as  shown. 

By  means  of  this  attachment 
the  water  in  the  tray  may  be 
maintained  at  any  temperature 
up  to  boiling  for  as  long  a  time 
as  desired,  thus  permitting  of  a

The  Tobey  Automatic  Water 
Heater  is  composed  of  two 
horizontal  cylinders  from  6' 
to  8'  long,  according  to  size.  The 
upper  cylinder  contains  a  perfo¬ 
rated  copper  tube  through  which 
all  the  hot  water  passes;  the 
hot  water  expands  this  copper 
tube,  which  operates  a  lever  at  the 
end  of  the  heater  and  closes 
the  valve  when  it  has  reached  the 
desired  temperature  ;  a  correspond¬ 
ing  fall  in  temperature  will  imme¬ 
diately  contract  the  copper  tube, 
and  so  open  the  valve  for  a  fresh 
supply  of  steam.  The  lower  cylin¬ 
der  contains  the  tubes  which  receive 
the  steam  and  transmit  heat  to  the 
water.  One  of  the  flange  connections 
between  the  upper  and  lower  cylin¬ 
ders  is  made  solid,  so  that  all  the 
cold  water  entering  the  lower  cylin¬ 
der  must  pass  along  and  around  the 
steam  tubes  before  it  can  escape  to 
the  upper  cylinder. 

The  automatic  valve  consists 
of  the  lever,  which  is  acted  on  by 
the  expansion  tube,  a  balanced 
double-seated  steam  valve,  and  an 
adjusting  device  at  the  top  of  expan¬ 
sion  lever.  The  adjustment  of  the 
temperature  is  governed  by  a  set¬ 
screw,  which,  when  once  adjusted,  can  be  locked  in  position  so  it  cannot  be  tampered  with. 

When  ordering  a  Tobey  heater  be  sure  you  get  one  large  enough  for  the  work  to  be  done,  and  if  you  are  not  sure  of  the  size  needed, 

send  us  full  particulars  of  what  work  you  want  to  do,  that  is,  the  kind  of  building  it  is  to  be  placed  in,  the  number  and  kind  of  fixtures  that 
are  to  be  supplied  with  hot  water;  also,  state  the  pressure  of  steam  it  is  proposed  to  supply  the  heater  with.  The  heater  will  work  with  high 

pressure,  low  pressure  or  exhaust  steam,  but  larger  valves  are  used  for  exhaust  or  low  pressure  than  for  high  pressure.  It  should  also  be 

7'emeinbercd  that  the  capacity  for  lotv  pressure  and  exhaust  stea??i  will  be  about  one-third  less  than  the  listed  capacities.

The  water-cooling  apparatus  here  illustrated  is  one  which  will  appeal  to  all  as  well  adapted  for 
use  in  connection  with  any  public  drinking  fountain.  It  is  constructed  in  the  following  manner  : 

A  casing  or  well  composed  of  any  suitable  material,  is  sunk  into  the  ground  flush  with  the 
surface.  In  this  casing,  which  is  preferably  made  of  cement,  and  cylindrical,  a  coil  of  pipe  is 
arranged  as  indicated  in  cut,  so  as  to  leave  the  central  portion  of  the  casing  open,  and  in  said  central 
portion,  one  or  more  vertically-disposed  reservoirs  made  of  galvanized-iron  are  located.  The 
water  enters  the  coil,  runs  through  the  reservoirs  and  is  stored  there,  and  then  leaves  the  cooling 
apparatus  to  supply  the  drinking  fountain.  The  space  within  the  well  or  casing  above  the  coil  or 
reservoirs,  and  the  spacings  between  the  said  reservoirs  and  the  coil  are  filled  with  ice  which  is 
replenished  from  time  to  time ;  the  whole  is  covered  by  a  non-conducting  cover  made  of  wood  and 
by  a  cast-iron  cover  made  in  sections  to  be  easily  removed. 

The  bottom  of  the  well  is  provided  with  a  drain  pipe  through  which  the  water  resulting  from 
the  melting  of  the  ice  is  drawn  off  and  conducted  to  the  sewer,  thereby  maintaining  a  state  of  dry 
cold  within  the  well  or  casing.

Plate  gi2i-R 


above  illustration  is  a  sectional  interior  view  of  our  “  SuNRAY  ”  Sectional  Steam  Boiler,  Series  70  and  90.  It  is  well  adapted 
I  for  use  in  public  comfort  stations.  As  the  sections  of  these  boilers  are  put  together  with  push  nipples,  and  the  bolts  that  hold  the 
sections  together  are  all  outside,  they  cannot  be  affected  by  expansion  and  contraction.  The  grates  used  are  of  a  very  simple  and 
durable  pattern,  being  made  to  rest  on  the  independent  base  so  that  the  sections  are  not  in  any  way  affected  by  the  shaking  of  the  grates. 
Any  bar  can  be  taken  out  and  replaced  by  another  without  disturbing  the  remaining  bars,  or  in  any  way  changing  the  heater.  Though  the 
dimensions  of  grates  are  given  in  the  list,  it  is  not  absolutely  necessary  to  use  them  full  length  of  the  boilers,  as  listed.  In  many  cases  a 

direct  advantage  is  gained  by  shortening  up  the  fire-box.  The  water  passages  in  the  sections  of  this  series  are  very  large  and  afford  quick 

circulation  for  the  liberation  of  steam,  which  is  necessary  to  maintain  a  steady  water  line  in  a  steam  boiler.  The  fire-box  and  the  upper  part 
of  the  dues  are  corrugated,  giving  an  additional  amount  of  self-cleaning  surface  over  the  hottest  part  of  the  fire  and  heated  gases. 

All  parts  of  the  sections  in  these  boilers  are  heating  surfaces  of  the  most  effective  kind,  and  we 
guarantee  the  heating  capacity  equal  to  any  sectional  boiler  on  the  market,  of  the  same  size  fire-box 
and  section.  The  ash  pits  are  large  and  deep  enough  to  prevent  the  grates  burning  out,  as  so  often 
happens  in  house-heating  boilers.  This  is  in  every  sense  a  return-due  safety  sectional  boiler,  and 
one  that  any  engineer  can  use  with  conddence  that  it  will  do  all  the  work  needed  for  any  possible  want.
